The NRAA has re-instituted a National Ranking System which is now permanently in place on the NRAA website.

The system has been extended to included B and C Grade rankings and there are two pages on display; one for A Grade Rankings in all disciplines and the other for B & C Grades where appropriate.

The Ranking System is calculated using result percentages from the National Grading System. Shooters who have registered a minimum of 5 scores are included in calculations, with the maximum being the most recent 8 scores. Each time a competition is entered into the National Grading…

The NRAA have examined the nominations for positions to both the F Class F Open and FTR teams which closed on the 11th September.

Unfortunately there are nowhere near enough nominations to form anywhere near a viable team in either F Open or FTR.

A reminder to everyone that full teams in each discipline are composed of 16 members in each. In order for teams to be viable it is felt that we should field as near as possible to full teams. It is also proper procedure to appoint a separate Captain for each team. The ICFRA competition conditions also…

The NQRA national F Class teams have just completed their campaign in the bi-annual national F Class competition held at Belmont.

At the nationals it was clearly evident that the standard of F Class across the nation has increased exponentially with the competition in each discipline being both very fierce and extremely tight.

All NQRA teams acquitted themselves very well and in fact the NQRA was the only region to have a team finish in the top 3 in EVERY discipline. This level of competitiveness across the board indicates the high standard of NQRA shooters across the board.

SPECIAL NOTE TO FTR F CLASS SHOOTERS

Could you please note and pass on the following information to other shooters concerning the latest alterations to the FTR Rules. NOTE That I have issued some rulings about FTR below in this document.

I have had quite a few queries concerning interpretation of some of the new FTR Rules that were issued in the SSR’s as at 1st July 2015.

Over the last few days I have been in close consultation with the International Members of the ICFRA F Class Rules committee. Some of the new ICFRA rules are fairly brief and…

HISTORY

As at July 2015

The NRAA acknowledges and recognises the growth and importance of F Class within the NRAA movement. F Class records go back as far as 2004 and perhaps even further with one grade in F Standard and a small F Open contingent. Rapid growth led to the introduction of Grades for F Standard and F Open began to grow rapidly once the move to Standard targets was made.

At the 2013 AGM, the NRAA was instructed to include FTR as a discipline mainly because of it being International. Growth in all areas has been remarkable with…
